Nice Work: Part 1

Hollywood, 1960. Ring-a ding-ding, baby- It s Swingin Time! JFK beams like a new sun over the land, The Rat Pack are court jesters to Camelot and the party is in that glorious desert paradise run by the Mob. The American Dream doesn t come better than this. But Johnny Cat knows Tinsel-town glamour is nothin more than fancy make-up covering bad skin and dirty business. Stand-in to the Chairman of the Board himself, Johnny Cat looks like Sinatra, sounds like Sinatra and that gets him close enough to smell the sweat beneath the spotlight and see the dirt beneath the fingernails of power. Like a dolled-up starlet, the big dream is seductive ---and just as dangerous. Johnny is so close he can taste it. In Hollywood --where the line between illusion and reality is blurred, maybe Johnny Cat can be Sinatra --just long enough for a big payoff. Part 1 of the graphic novel serialized at ModernTales.com written and drawn by award winning artist Geoff Grogan.
